अरवीलो गरवीलो रंगीलो छबीलो कान्ह करि के सिंगार ठाढौ देखो सखी कुँजद्वार । वाम भाग राधा प्यारी ओढे चुनरी की सारी कंचुकी उत्तंग गाढी ठाडी बहियाँ गरे डार ॥१ ॥ चुनरी चटकदार पाग सीस नंदलाल सूथन चुनरी बागौ बन्यो अंग घेरदार ॥२ ॥ फूल-छरी बेनु धरी बजत है रस भरी सुनत स्रवन धाय आये सब नर नगरा । निरखि मुखारविंद फूले मानो अरविंद करत गुँजार तहाँ 'कृष्णदास' भमरा ॥३ ॥
